Kabbalah su Esodo 1:8

Another explanation, "Now there arose a new king..." (Shemot 1:8) Rabbi Shimon said, On that day, permission was granted to the Minister of Egypt to be ABOVE all the other nations. For we learned that before Joseph died, Egypt was not granted dominion over Israel, but when Joseph died, "Now there arose a new king." "Arose" MEANS as one who was lowly and arose, FOR ON THAT DAY THE MINISTER OF EGYPT AROSE TO BE GREAT, AS MENTIONED EARLIER.

[The men wanted to return to the land (Jonah 1:13) in teshuvah and "were not able because the sea" which is the decree of judgment "was growing more and more stormy around them"] At that moment, "Ad-nai appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah/Yonah/the dove" (Jonah 2:1) - This is the first exile, about which it is written "and Jonah went down to the bowels of the ship" (Jonah 1:5). And this is "I will go with you to Egypt" (Gen. 46:4), as we maintain "in every place that Israel was exiled the Shechinah was with them" (see Zohar 2:7a and Megillah 29a). In that time (of the first exile) it was said about them (Israel) "And a new king arose in Egypt" (Ex. 1:8) and this is Pharaoh, about whom it is written "Ad-nai appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah", since he wanted to erase Israel from the world, as it is written "every son that is born you will throw into the Nile" (Ex. 1:22), similarly "Ad-nai appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah" to kill him. It is not written "to swallow Jonah" but "to swallow ET Jonah" and the particle ET is there to include the Faithful Shepherd [Moshe] who would bring Torah in his hands, which is from ALEF to TAV, and all reincarnations were in his hands, and this is the great fish, about which it is written "the great serpent" (Ezekiel 29:3), which is the fish of Egypt and its partner is Dagah (Jonah 2:2) and "the bowels of the Dagah" are Egypt.
